Submission + - New Gmail users accounts disabled 11:30p EST
dzd-n-confused writes: At about 11:30pm yesterday Gmail locked out the accounts of new users that signed up in the last month maybe more.
Everybody affected gets a message like this " Sign in to Gmail with your
Google Account
Sorry, your account has been disabled. For more information about Google Accounts, please consult our Help Center at http://www.google.com/support/accounts/. "
It appears accounts more that a few months old are not affected. The accounts are no longer able to receive messages either, they just bounce back saying no such user.
